I picked up both of the OneLineDrawing albums (Visitor and The Volunteers) when I saw them live for a total of £16. I already had Visitor, but it got cracked when I was leaving uni and I really wanted The Volunteers, so I killed two birds with one stone. Both are fantastic.

Morrissey's new single -Irish Blood, English Heart. Can't imagine anyone from the Us would think it's anything special, but it stirs me and it's a good example of how much he can add to a simplistic rock song no one else could pull off.

 

Also, Yellow Magic Orchestra - Technodelic. A bit disappointing after the complete, sheer, sonic the hedgehog for genesis/mega drive awesomeness of Solid State Survivor, but still cool.

Well, I got You are the Quarry, and it's good. But not great. 'I have forgiven Jesus' 'The World is Full of Crashing Bores' and 'America is not the World' were all disappointing. Nothing I'd ever call bad though. I think the b-sides on 'Irish Blood, English Heart' were more to my liking than the aforementioned three.

Some stuff I've picked up over the last week or two:

 

-Mos Def and Talib Kweli present Black Star. Already had Mos' Black on Both Sides, and I think I like this one better. Reflection Eternal is next on my shortlist.

 

-A copy of TV on the Radio's Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, which I pimped heavily a few weeks ago. Further listening point out that "Dreams" may be the best song released this year.

 

-Franz Ferdinand. This one was worth checking out. Beyond the singles there's a lot of crisp glam, and I expect it to dominate the CD player over the summer. Good stuff.

Is Absolution as good as I think it is? (I've only heard Time is Running Out and Hysteria)

 

I just got The Sickness by Disturbed. Awesome album.

I bought a used copy of the newest A Perfect Circle cd on the cheap, just because. It's pretty ok. I look at it kind of like Maynard's feminine side, with a little bit of King Crimson influence thrown in there. The album seems to be all about some kind of atmosphere, what exactly that is I haven't nailed yet. I'm thinking obscurity in fucking. So Adrian Belew that it's not even right.

While Absolution is great album, it's not as good as Origin of Symmetry IMO. Time is running out is the best one on Absolution i think.

I think that as a whole, I like Thirteenth Step more than Mer de Noms. The new album is a bit more feminine, but I think it's also a bit more well-rounded. I also quite like the production on the new album. Mer de Noms seemed a bit over-produced at times. Thirteenth Step sound more stripped down and raw, which is the sound I've always preferred.

 

Though there's no "3 Libras" or "Oresetes" on Thirteenth Step, tracks like "Pet", "The Noose" and "Weak and Powerless" are all great tracks that can be repeatedly listed to.

Tical 0: The Prequel- Method Man

How's this? I can't really get into the single much, and I don't have the highest of expectations.

I haven't listened to the entire disc yet, but I've been digging what I've heard, with the exception of the track with Redman. Other than that, it's all good so far.

I got two Acid Bath CDs (When the Kite String Pops and Paegan Terrorism Tactics) after waiting a little while (cancelled one order else where, then placed an order with Rotten Records), frickin awesome. I'm digging PTT slightly more than Kite String. Great albums.

Those two albums will fuck with you. You'll think one song's your favorite for a while, then it'll be "God Machine" for a while...I think mine changes every time I listen to one of them.
